What music do athletes and sports enthusiasts listen to when they work out? That's what headphone-maker Sennheiser and sporting goods-maker Adidas want to find out. They've collaborated on a new Web site, 5 for Sports, to gather submissions. For the next five months, sports fans from around the globe can nominate their five favorite training songs. They can also check out the favs of athletes including U.S. sprinter Tyson Gay and basketballer Derrick Rose.

As a thank you give to visitors who share their favorite tracks, Sennheiser and Adidas are offering 250 instant prizes, as well as one grand prize: a gift voucher for sports equipment work approximately $7,000 US. Look for the site to add the favorite songs of other athletes over the coming months. Top
